A Top Executive Coach at a Fortune 100 Technology Company

Case Study

Phenomenal growth over the past decade meant that leaders had to grow fast and create impact in a Fortune 100 enterprise

Background

Phenomenal growth over the past decade meant that leaders had to grow fast and create impact in a Fortune 100 enterprise. This extended period of hyper growth created diverse challenges for leaders, including:

  • Leading within a massive and incredibly complex, global organization made up of large interconnected businesses
  • Scaling leadership and growing rapidly, to effectively lead much larger teams
  • Leading, managing, growing and retaining best-in-the world talent
  • Staying at the cutting edge not only of technology, but also of leadership and management practices
  • Working with passionate, purpose driven employees

Today, leading in the age of AI brings a new set of leadership challenges associated with the blistering pace of change and the hyper competitive landscape.

Approach

Eric’s longstanding client relationships include working with a Fortune 100 technology company, where he has been coaching over 150 C-level executives, VP/GMs, and leaders of emerging business units since 2015. 

His involvement has also extended to broader initiatives. During his time with this company, he has been hired as a subject matter expert in the areas of coaching and leadership to inform key programs. In addition, Eric conducted research on how externally hired VPs succeed in the company’s culture. This research has informed some of their leadership development programs that are still in place today.
